In Kure...
................................
James looked through his cellphone's contact list and found the number he was looking for, then pressed 'send'. As the phone rang, he opened the cabinet and pulled out a pair of double-rocks glasses and a dusty bottle from the very back. He drew the cork with his teeth and poured a generous measure of golden liquor into each glass, then re-corked the bottle.
The phone was answered and James heard an old friend's voice. "Hello?"
"Sam, it's James. You got a minute? I wanted to ask a favor."
"Yeah, I'm free for a while. What's up, Brother?"
James saw Houshou enter the kitchen and he kissed her cheek. "You and Eryka feel like taking a trip to Kure? I'd like ya to come out and say some words for me."
"What kind of words?"
"The kind that start with 'Dearly Beloved'. I'm gettin' married and we'd like you to officiate."
"Your 'Firebird'? Put the phone on speaker if she's there." James put the phone on speaker and Sam spoke. "Miss Houshou? Hi, I'm Sam Potter, a friend of James'. How are you?"
"I'm doing well, thank you, Mister Potter. James speaks highly of you; 'brother in all but blood', he said. How are you?"
"I'm doing well. James says you want me to officiate your wedding?"

In Yokosuka at the same time, Kaylee was feeling the effects of the time-difference between Scotland and Japan. She couldn't sleep, so she had went wandering and found herself a quiet spot to think, which turned out to be the Summoning Chamber.
As she tapped on the floor she smiled, hearing the acoustics. On a whim, she pulled out a harmonica and started playing snippets of tunes. She ranged from The Leaving of Liverpool, to Maryland, my Maryland, to Was my Brother in the Battle. She had just finished playing Bonny Blue Flag and swung into Battle-Hymn of the Republic when she felt a stirring in the air, a seeming weight descending on the Chamber.
She heard boilers from on the water and turned to look, seeing a figure on the surface of the pool, dressed in...
"YOU!!!"
The next thing anyone heard was the smacking of fists on flesh and the ringing of steel driven against steel...
